Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy to facilitate self-exploration through a creative journey. Sessions include a variety of techniques to explore the unconscious, using art directives and conversation. The goal is to evoke thoughts and feelings that might otherwise be difficult to articulate through talk therapy.

Art therapy is for anyone and everyone! The most important thing to recognize about this method of therapy is that you don’t need to be an artist to take part, it’s about the process not the product.

Gabriella Rizkallah
(She/Her/Hers) MEd, RCT-C, CAT

Who Am I?

My name is Gabriella and I am a Registered Counselling therapist Candidate (RCT-C) and a member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA). Art has always been my outlet for self-expression. It has allowed me to convey emotions when words could not. My journey towards art therapy began in 2014 when I earned my BFA from NSCAD University in Interdisciplinary studies. There, I focused on photography, metalwork, and design. I then decided to share the artistic knowledge I gained by completing my BEd from St. Francis Xavier University in 2016. Although working with students in the classroom was extremely rewarding, I knew that I wanted to positively impact lives through artistic expression. That’s when my journey lead me to Detroit, MI, where I was able to combine my passions by completing my MEd with a concentration in art therapy.

Art therapy uses artistic expression and the creative process to explore emotions, develop coping skills, reduce anxiety, and much more. Find the voice you never knew you had through personally curated artistic activities!

Area of focus: Autism Spectrum, Dementia, Emotional Navigation Children/Adolescence, Anxiety, Depression, Navigating Learning Styles/Differences, ADHD, Neurodiversity, Stress Management, Parenting & Postpartum, Trauma/Loss associated with Refugees and/or Newcomers, Art Therapy Education in Schools.
